Handling anything with fingers always adds oil artifacts; why would you want oil on tubes, light bulbs, etc. Oil attracts dust......I no longer use tube gear, but when I did, I used latex medical gloves....I still use these gloves when I open gear to do my mods.
Anyone wear gloves to handle vacuum tubes?
I wear cloth gloves to change or to test tubes. Does anyone else do this? I see lots of bare fingers handling tubes on ebay. If I ever do touch them with bare skin, I am very quick to wipe with dry cloth after. Just wondering what the rest of the world does. Thanks
